Hey, RangerRaver! Thanks for linking to the Tuna Melt and What's That You're Drinking. There haven't been too many links to the Cocktail Blog yet. I'm gonna need to start drinking more just to be able to post more often. It's good to see someone is paying attention.

Great posts here! The Artie Shaw is tremendous. I like Mel and the Meltones almost as much as Stewardesses!!!

Keep meaning to stop by and say Hi, but I get so behind. Have I mentioned lately that this is one fantastic blog?!! I don't think I have. Well, I can't say it enough! I can't keep up with all the great shares and albums!

I can't think of one thing you've shared that I don't like (now if only I can get caught up on my downloading!).

Fantastic music, I bow down to your taste - but I'm so frustrated!! I'm stuck with an office laptop, and with an old version of RealAudio, and my network administrators regard this sort of activity as frivolous at best, and dangerously subversive at worst. Why do you want it? So I can download lounge music. Oh yeah?

Anyway, RealAudio is a hideous program that crawls all over your computer and does stuff without asking you. Why do you use it? What's wrong with iTunes, or Windows Media Player?

thanks for the great posts. I downloaded several ones the last couple of weeks. I like to share a big part of my old vinyl collection (exotica, party-music, jazz-grooves, rarities) so I have posted 7 album-downloads on my website:http://www.bluehipster.com/music.htm

Just love cocktail albums .We have them all including xmas albums The insert in each is just great with a different cocktail for each album .I think Bachelor Pad is my Fav. Look forward to listening to more great albums from the past.

You have some tremendous stuff here. Most of the older download links have expired, and I'd love to nab some of that. I'll check in from time to time to see if the links get fixed. Many thanks for putting all this excellent stuff online!
